FASHION
Red carpet clout
Exhibit A: Elle Macpherson. Known simply as “The Body” back in her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue days, the supermodel wore a black-and-gold beaded halter-neck Gucci gown to an amfAR fundraiser at Cannes. Dressing celebs for such international red carpet events is as important -- or more so -- than one night at the Oscars, say designers such as Dolce & Gabbana.

MOVIES
Rats!
In early December, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named 15 films in the running for its visual effects award, two animated pix were included for the first time ever. Finally, it seemed, the academy was responding to tech advances in CG toons. But neither “Ratatouille” nor “Beowulf” made the list of seven finalists recently announced. See which made the cut and which films got snubbed at the Gold Derby blog at www.TheEnvelope.com.
